Re: Pigeon coop

I'm not able to answer your question directly other than to suggest you search 'pigeon loft design' in your favorite search engine. Pigeons have particular requirements to happy and breed. The design of your loft will be dependent of a number of different factors that you will have to consider: clim...

Re: Does neutering have negative affects?

Before I neuter one of my dogs, I ask myself; at what age would I like to be neutered! :? Now Don, do you also ask yourself if you'd really want to wear a shock collar before you put one on the pups? Or ask if you'd like to live in a box with hay in it? Or ask yourself if you'd want to carry all th...

Re: Dogs and Chickens

Re: Building your first pigeon coop.....

Mulga, Nice job. I wish I had thought of opening my belgium trap like that. I'm going to have to modify mine sometime so I can open it like that. The drop trap works well. This is a video, if it works, of my new birds learning to use it. This is only about a week after I got them and only their sec...

Re: Building your first pigeon coop.....

Thanks for the designs. I have nearly finished my first loft. I based it around two 1x3 meter 100mm insulated panels left over from my patio build Decided to add it onto the end of my chook yard to save on extra posts and wall. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn130/Mulga_2008/Mulga_2013/th_P10402...

FYI Field and Game Australia would probably be the organization with the most involvement with bird hunting and bird dogs http://www.fga.net.au/

Re: Which E-Collar?

At this point in Canada the Alpha is not really legal, but I think that is going to clear up in spring (a regulatory issue with the frequency it uses) so I would double check for Oz. It's not legal here due to the same frequency overlap. The Australian Communications Authority is the regulator may ...

Which E-Collar?

Howdy, I know this topic has been done time and time again, apologies and thanks for your replies in advance. I have searched the web and past forum posts which were very helpful. I'm still undecided on which collar to purchase. I have never owned an e-collar before (or trained a HPR for that matter...
